Sage Accounts tab has vanished

Running ACT! by Sage 2010 Version 12.1.181.0, Hot Fix 1. I think ACT must have done some sort of update last week. Now the tab that links me to Sage 50 Accounts has vanished. I'm still linked to the accounting programme, the menu at the top of the screen is still there and has all it's functions. It'll still update linked contacts for example.

What i've lost is the ability to go to the tab and view accounts history or create an invoice for example.

Re: Sage Accounts tab has vanished

If I read your issue correctly, only the Sage Accounts tab has vanished... all other tabs remain. If that is correct, have you tried a different layout?

If this is a Windows 7/Vista computer, try using the 'Run as administrator' option: Close ACT! > right click on ACT! icon > select 'Run as administrator' > look for tab.

Note: There haven't been any updates issued for ACT! 2010 in quite a while, but that isn't to say that you couldn't have just applied an existing update. However; I doubt that an ACT! update was applied, because you would have had to initiate the update manually.

If this database is used by others, are they also having the same issue?

It's very odd. I'm the sole user, haven't changed layouts (will look and see if it's there in my non custom layout).

Something has changed with ACT - have noticed some other stuff like for example, using the print labels dialogue always used to default to the last labale layout used - now it doesn't. Ditto for mailmerge - it no longer defaukls to the last one used.
